The analytical model is based on the one-dimensional heat conduction equation which allows us to estimate the thermal diffusivity value through the initial heating slope. To determine the thermal diffusivity value of metallic nanofilms, controlled micropulses were applied on them in order to measure changes in the electrical resistance and to estimate the corresponding changes of temperature in the transitory regime, where only the metallic film is heated. The proposed analytical model and the methodology were used to characterize Au and Al thin films thermally deposited on glass substrates. Preliminary results gave thermal diffusivity values of (40 ± 4) × 10-6 m2/s for an Au(40 nm) film, and (25 ± 3) ±10-6 m2/s for an Al(40 nm) film at room conditions (298 K, and atmospheric pressure).","PeriodicalId":226547,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control (CCE)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127190143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The characterization by PL shows the effect of antimony doping on the emission band intensity attributed to reduction of oxygen vacancies by antimony introduction. The results of XRD showed that antimony source has a Sb2O3 crystalline phase. Reciprocal space maps of doped samples revealed the low dimensional structural modification of single crystal produced by the introduction of antimony.

These circuits control the injection current into the floating gate. The principle supporting the expected good resolution in this system comes from observing two operating cycles. In the first cycle, a constant injection current is applied then, in the second cycle, the resulting drain current is compared with a target current keeping the floating gate transistor inside the working analog circuit, where it belongs to. Both cycles, which are periodic and interleaved are valid until the target current is reached, event detected by a current comparator. This strategy seems to have no appreciable programming error. For the simulation results, it is introduced an injection current model supporting the technology used in this programming circuit namely, 0.5-micron, n-well, CMOS, whose electrical parameters were contained in the Mentor IC Nanometer Suite.","PeriodicalId":226547,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control (CCE)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122052874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first technique is a combination of image segmentation methods consisting of Otsu's method, global, edge detection with Laplacian of Gaussian method, region growing algorithm and variable thresholding method. The second technique is a combination of image segmentation methods consisting of Otsu's method and the selection of regions using variable thresholding. These methods were used to classify the pixels of real Magnetic Resonance (MR) images obtained for the study of the distribution of heat in abscess treatment in a murine model with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). In the evaluation, a total of nine surveys of 48 images each were used, and a methodology including three main steps was followed: establishment of ground truth images and calculation of areas from the segmented images, discrepancy measure calculation, and data normalization. For the evaluation an area-based metric was used and it was based on a discrepancy measure proposed for two regions and on the generalized version for c regions. After the evaluation of both segmentation techniques it was found that they presented a better performance in axial MR images than in sagittal MR images. In sagittal MR images, the average error and standard deviation error measures indicated a high variability in the segmentation for both techniques. Due to the performance of the segmentation for sagittal images, improvements will be implemented taking into account the combination of the evaluated methods in order to exploit the benefits of each one.","PeriodicalId":226547,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control (CCE)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128744286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work the crystallite size variation with respect to milling time and speed has been studied by using the High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). Further, the powders milled at 400 rpm for 6 h were put in a stainless steel die and pressed with a pressing machine to manufacture thin pellets. After several experimental trials stable SnO2 pellets were formed by pressing with 16 tons for 90 min. Silver contacts were deposited on the pellets surface by the thermal evaporation technique. The sensing properties of these pellets were measured at different carbon monoxide (CO) and propane (C3H8) concentrations and operation temperatures. Powders with a uniform crystallite size, around 25 nm, were obtained after a ball milling process for 6 h at 400 rpm. Effects of CO and C3H8 concentration and the measuring temperatures on the gas sensing properties are also reported in this work.","PeriodicalId":226547,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Electrical Engineering, Computing Science and Automatic Control (CCE)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130564968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
